This is just a bit of humor to lighten things up, but as a former member of Havoc Unleashed and a long-time player it seems to me we have pretty bad luck when it comes to wars.
Back in early 2011, April I think, Havoc Unleashed formed. Within a month or so a few members broke off and formed their own alliance, Knights Templar, which proceeded to declare war and beat the snot out of us until Lorre and AmrothAnguireal intervened.
The Knights, aka ICON, went on to a long and glorious history of pillage and devastation. Everybody's favorite St. Jude, himself a Havoc Unleashed founder or very early member, has been at war with pretty much every alliance in the game at one point or another, up to and including H?
Gaia Nutella Tulips, also a Havoc alumna, has been in more fights than I can count. I think her own alliance turned on her in a civil war most recently.
Affirmative Action, led by Geofrey (a former Havoc officer) has also seen their share of wars, most recently against Insanity Inc. (formerly Persona Armoniosa, an ally of Havoc in the KT wars as I recall).
TLR has been in one or two wars recently. Their leader Eternal Fire has gone through a number of previous incarnations. One of them (Kurfist I think, may have been Clavicus Vile) was an ally of Havoc against Knights Templar and joined Havoc for a couple of days before returning to his home alliance. Obviously the curse catches on quickly, and even account abandonment offers no escape.
Just recently Black Skull Horde of Mal Motsha was attacked by LWO just for fun. BSH doesn't have any direct connection to Havoc that I can think of, but I used to be an officer in Havoc Unleashed and I have a confed with them, so it must be very contagious. They live right across the river from me after all.
Currently we have STEEL, original a sister to Havoc, founded by Gimardoran667, who was a Havoc Unleashed officer, under attack by NC. Apparently they don't have a problem with STEEL so much as they dislike Gimardoran. Probably because he used to be in Havoc.
Offhand, except maybe for the Valar-H? war I can't think of any conflicts in recent Illyrian history that didn't involve members of poor old Havoc Unleashed. It looks like we are still living up to our name even if the old girl is defunct now. Watch out folks. We're bad news.
**with respect and no offense intended to Johnny112. Here's hoping Armory and Ascension both manage to buck the trend.**
